TLDR
In this article, the authors described a system for processing touch inputs with respect to a multipoint sensing device and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multi-point sensing device.Abstract:
Methods and systems for processing touch inputs are disclosed. The invention in one respect includes reading data from a multipoint sensing device such as a multipoint touch screen where the data pertains to touch input with respect to the multipoint sensing device, and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multipoint sensing device.read more

Methods of interacting with a computer using a finger(s) touch sensing input device with visual feedback
TL;DR: In this paper, a data input device includes a finger touch sensing surface wherein the finger touch surface is configured to produce a visual feedback in response to a touching of the touch inputs, the visual feedback indicating an absolute location that the fingertip sensing surface was touched by a finger.
Patent
Touch sensor system to detect multiple touch events
TL;DR: In this paper, a touch input system determines valid touch locations based on the correlation values between X magnitudes and Y magnitudes, which can be used in applications for multiple users, such as games, and in other applications requiring the processing of concurrent touch inputs.
